\

Original equation.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply each element by 4x)

\

$\"\"$ (Simplify)

\

$\"\"$ (Equate the corresponding elements)

\

Equation 1: $\"\"$ and Equation 2: $\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

Solve the equation 1: $\"\"$ .

\

Apply division property of equality: If a = b then $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 4)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply each side by negative one)

\

$\"\"$ (Product of two same signs is positive) $\"\"$

\

Solve the equation 2: $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Substitute $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 3)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

The solution is $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .
